To me it means one thing and one thing only. Presents. I feel that any religious meaning it had once hd, was stripped away long ago by the commercialization of it. Nothing says spirituality like taking out credit so you can afford your one month long shopping spree.

Yea pretty much.
People really need to stop being so PC about everything. It's more of a tradition now anyway.

I hope that's sarcasm, I don't think Christmas or Hanukkah or any other holiday that occurs at this time of year are issues of political correctness. If a Jew wishes me a happy Hanukkah I thank him/her and wish him/her the same as well as a Merry Christmas.
Notice it's only the Christians that have to make concessions in this regard, I don't think it makes any sense, especially for those who practice, to feel ashamed of what they believe in.

X-Mass is a hoax set up by the Capitolistic Empire to steal the wealth of hard working citizens.
I spent almost 1k this X-Mass and what did I get in return?? A few shirts and an over sized jacket...
But I did get a cool fucking Robot that vacuums my carpet and floors for me.....
